DOE Announces $1M Competition for Hydrogen Refueling System

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Fuel Cell Technologies Office and the Hydrogen Education Foundation have launched a new competition for developing affordable systems for small-scale hydrogen fueling.

Entries will install and test systems that generate hydrogen using electricity or natural gas for refueling hydrogen vehicles. The winning team will receive a $1 million cash prize.

Called the $1 Million H2 Refuel H-Prize, the two-year competition will help expand the hydrogen infrastructure in the U.S. to support more transportation energy options, including fuel-cell electric vehicles.
